Stealing Parker by Miranda Kenneally

4.0

So during reading this I wasn’t liking it for a large portion. The immaturity, religious stuff and even the way it was written, really got to me. If it wasn’t for the slight growth of the main character I probably would have raged, but I must admit that by the end I did really enjoy the story. I won’t say the writing didn’t get to me, it why I can’t say I loved it. It read more like her diary than anything and it’s quite off putting. I liked that she took time to find herself, and the scenes with the guy in the truck made me so uncomfortable as their ‘relationship’ progressed, and she felt uncomfortable but he kept pushing anyway. It was bad enough him even meeting up with her but those scenes made my skin crawl. Parker is a very emotional character which I actually enjoyed and even though the writing style wasn’t for me, I think in terms of getting her emotions across it worked well. Loved Will, hated when he wouldn’t talk to her, and I don’t really like her friend because I just don’t get that ‘I like him so stay way thing’. I think it’s dumb. Especially for people turning 18.
